In the far northwestern corner of South Africa lies the
Richtersveld, recently inscribed towards the end of 2007 as South
Africa' 8th World Heritage Site. At first glance, it is a desolate
and inhospitable place, with hot sandy plains and startling, jagged
mountains of black rock. It is the world' only biodiversity hotspot
located in an arid region, where thousands of plant species, many
of which are endemic to the area. It is also the home to the last
remaining groups of Nama (Khoikhoi) people who still practise their
traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle, living in portable reed huts
and moving with their flocks of sheep and goats. The Richtersveld
travel guide contains all the information you need to explore this
stunning region. It covers the geological, botanical and cultural
history of the area, and it contains full details of where to stay
and what to do. The guide includes the Richtersveld Community
Conservancy, the Richtersveld National Park, the nearby towns of
Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth, and crosses the border into
Namibia, where the Richtersveld is joined with the Ai-Ais hot
springs and the Fish River Canyon (second largest in the world) in
a spectacular Transfrontier Conservation Area. The Richtersveld is
also part of the greater Namaqualand region, which runs south from
the Orange River for several hundred kilometers. This beguiling
part of the world has won international renown for its annual
spring-flower spectacle, when millions of flowers burst forth to
mount a staggering display that attracts visitors from all over the
world.
